2017 Week 2 Score Report

I'm getting a silly feeling we are in the middle of a complete NFL rewrite.

Why?  Check out Week 2.  Another un-Goodell-esque week.

• Per-game average for Week 2 2017:  40.188 (Last year:  45.25, two years ago 47.75, three years ago 43.65)
• Two-week per-game:  2017:  40.613  (More than a field goal down from all three previous years.

AND ONCE AGAIN:  Packers, Sunday night, new stadium, road game.  LOSS to Atlanta.  Two years in a row in that slot now.

• Home teams were 9-7 last week, 16-15 for the year.  (Last year:  10-6 and 17-15)
• Only four games went over and three pushed.  4-9-3 for the week, 9-19-3 for the year.
• Favorites were 7-9 against the number and 11-5 straight up this week.  15-16 and 21-10 for the year, respectively. (7-7 and 9-5 last year for 13-15 and 17-11)
• Team with more penalties was 6-9-1 for the week, 15-13-3 for the year.
• Our first three Cliffhangers of the year, but the bigger news was that the games either finished within 8 points (half the games) or were non-competitive (the other half, meaning we now have had 14 of 31 games never within a score in the 4th quarter).
